CSE
The Committee on Special Education (CSE) is a multidisciplinary team that identifies children in grades K-12 with special education needs. Prior to the initial eligibility meeting of the CSE the student participates in a comprehensive evaluation. Students are eligible for special education services if the Committee determines that there are significant weaknesses in learning that impact classroom performance and the student's ability to access the general education curriculum. The Committee must determine eligibility based on the following disability classifications:autism, deafness, deaf blindness, emotional disturbance, hearing impairment, learning disability, intellectual disability, multiple disability, orthopedic impairment, other health impairment, speech or language impairment, traumatic brain injury, or visual impairment including blindness.
An Individual Education Program (IEP) is a formal document outlining the special services for a student by the Committee on Special Education. The IEP contains the summary of the student's strengths and weaknesses, present levels of performance, and specific educational goals. It also indicates the nature of the disabling condition and the recommended programs and placement. The IEP is the teacher's guide for instruction and is reviewed at least annually by the Committee on Special Education. Additionally, the CSE conducts a comprehensive re-evaluation at least every three years.
If you have concerns about your child's learning or educational performance, please speak with your child's teacher or building psychologist. A student can be referred to the CSE by either their parents or the school staff.
